“Bruce Almighty”

Jim Carrey’s first comedy in three years takes the ingenious idea of giving an ordinary man the power of God and completely pulls an Eszterhas. Lip-syncing “I’ve Got the Power” while blowing up skirts, in addition to large breast jokes are the supposed A-material in a trailer that might as well have serviced laughs about TV dinners and Gerald Ford’s administration — now that would be funny. Carrey should go back to making crappy dramatic films instead of crappy slapstick movies.

“Finding Nemo”

Can Pixar go wrong? The “Toy Story” films, “A Bug’s Life” and “Monster’s Inc.” were all winners, and this undersea adventure looks just as promising. It’s a kids’ movie, which if taken into consideration that this summer’s draw is primarily for the 14-and-up crowd, this animated feature will surely make plenty of dollars.

“Hollywood Homicide”

Harrison Ford, the biggest box office hero of all time, hasn’t had the best track record the last few years (did anyone really see “K-19”?). But this film, costarring Josh Hartnett and directed by Ron Shelton (“Bull Durham”) is minus a few notches on the special effects, which could be a nice alternative. The trailer promises laughs, though let’s hope these aren’t the best of the film (also known as the Farrelly Brothers Syndrome). It may be some low-brow humor, but it looks better than a lot of its competition.

“The Hulk”

Ang Lee, the director of “Sense and Sensibility” and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” may prove himself to be an auteur of superhero movies with this film, which is my prediction to be the highest-grossing film of the summer. On the downside is the silly-looking trailer, which offers nothing more than an obviously computer-generated Hulk throwing around tanks like Matchbox cars. Even more on the downside is having Jennifer Connelly in the film. Go figure.

“From Justin to Kelly”

This is a movie that received such bad press that “American Idol” pulled clips during its time slot. Looks like someone caught on that this attempt to yet again capitalize on the two stars of the original “Idol” (Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson) looks like the crappiest revamp of “Beach Blanket Bingo.” Maybe the two youngsters, who are both on about 14:48 of their 15 minutes, are as bad of actors as they are of atrocious singers.

“Le Divorce Class”

Arriving late this summer, the latest effort from Merchant-Ivory is about two stepsisters (Naomi Watts and Kate Hudson) who seek each other’s support when one is abandoned by her French husband. Not typical summer movie fare, nor will it make a dime, but it does showcase two of the new generation’s most promising actresses, as does it showcase some old-school talent (Glenn Close, Sam Waterston, and Stockard Channing).

“28 Days Later”

Could a genuinely scary movie be in store for this summer’s moviegoers? The film, directed by Danny Boyle (“Trainspotting”) is receiving plenty of hype and looks like a sure bet judging by its trailer, which uses “Ascent,” the technical genius of composer Brian Eno, to enhance the eeriness of this dark zombie thriller.
